As announced few weeks before, I revisited and recoded my website with the help of a friend of mine, now, everything is more dynamic and interactive, there is a search on the website, you can subscribe RSS and browsing new photos, releases and soundsets on every page, all the informations, posts and news are categorized.
Another nice feature is in the header, now you can finally see standalone-music.com on your iphone & mobile devices.
The interface is barely changed, I still finds it nice so I decided to keep it.
A few words about my gig in Melbourne, it was simply AWESOME really enjoyed the crowd and really enjoyed the city, I just want to take the chance to thank everyone who went at my gig, all the nice people that I met during the night and Dan, the promoter who made all this possible!
I hope to come back really soon!!!

Yes, I finally did it!
I moved to Australia, I have a couple of records to produce here as well as some live performances, then I will try to get emplyement at an australian studio or marketing company.
My phone number is changed of course but the contacts page it’s been updated already.
within the next week you will even be able to find a new commercial sound set, this time for the well known synth by Roland, the JP 8000 and the JP 8080.
is with an extremely pleasure that I write this news, finally after 3 months of hard work, moving knobs and faders and tweaking waves, I’m pleased to say that my bank of 128 patches for Sylenth 1 by Lennardigital is finally finished!
The Bank is going to be one of the factory banks contained in the release 2.2.3, no need to say that for me was such a big honor to be able to program this awesome synth, and is flattering to know that every single Sylenth 1 user will be able to mess around with my sounds :)
By going into a bit more technical side : the bank contains 128 patches, most of them will be “Electronic Dance Music oriented” but it will even contains some cool ambient sounds, recreations of sounds from a few vintage synths like Yamaha DX-7, Mini-Moog, Fender Rohdes and from some recent ones as : Roland Jp8000/8080,Access Virus and Clavia Nordlead, there will be some recreations of acustic instruments as well such as strings and organs, last but not least, some atmosphere sounds useful for sound design installations and scoring.
Official release date is still to be confirmed, keep checking this website, I will write something about as soon as I have some more news about it.
For more info about Sylenth 1, don t forget to check www.lennardigital.com.
The player above, is an mp3 demo that demonstrates some patches from this bank in action :
Hello everyone, I m pleased to announce the launch of my new website, many of you are probably wondering where the “7 Skies” site gone, don t worry, is still online, with a new domain, simply check : www.7skies-music.com
I decided to split standalone-music and 7 Skies for a simple reason, I want to dedicate this space to my whole work as sound designer, sound engineer,producer and “psychologist of sound” so that I can better organize both of my projects by giving more specific news.
I personally love the style of this new website, I had some really tiring and frustrating weeks, crashing my head on html, css codes, Photoshop and Flash and even some Javascript, but I have to say it worthwhile.
That s all for now, some news about music (especially synth sound design) are about to come, stay tuned!
And finally, the news everyone was waiting for!!!
The very first single as 7 Skies is finally released on the german label Breeze(Breathe Music), available on Vinyl, CD and Mp3.
The support on this single it s been massive already : Armin van Buuren (ASOT369), Ferry Corsten (Countdown Show 067), Judge Jules (Radio BBC1), Dave Pearce (Radio BBC1), Simon Patterson, Jon O’Bir, John Askew, Les Hemstock,Suzy Solar, Matt Darey, Kenneth Thomas, Robert Nickson, DJ Shah, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Derek “The Bandit” Richardson, Paul Hughes, Solarstone, Pedro del Mar & many others.
Featured on Robert Nickson‘ s compilation “Trance World Vol. 5“, Central Park is going to be one of the hottest tracks released on 2008.
“DJ Mag (UK) by Tim Stark:
7 Skies & Static Blue
‘Central Park’
(Breathe Music)
5/5
Combining faultless elements with a bomb-drop production, 7 Skies and
Static Blue deliver a thrill-ride euphoric trancer. The intro’s approaching
melodies are left tantalizingly hanging in the background and just out of
distinct ear-reach. Into the drop it marries a stunning (but remarkably
controlled) rock guitar riff with evocative NY police sirens. All this would
amount to little though if ‘Central Park’ didn’t have its whirlwind lead
synth-line tucked away in reserve to deliver the absolute K.O. Huge ”
So guys, what are you waiting for??? Check the biggest mp3 stores of the net and support this release :P
The pack contains Original Mix, a really nice remix by the anjunabeats man Nitrous Oxide and a Chillout mix made by myself as well.
Don’t forget to check the official Central Park Video made by myself as well, it will be available soon on the media session of this website!
All the best
David
